A die has 6 faces marked as 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6. When we throw a die , than total number of outcomes = 6 { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 }
But when we throw two dice simultaneously , than total number of outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36
Total possible outcomes on throwing two dice are:
{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6), (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6), (3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6), (4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6), (5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6), (6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}
Number of all possible outcomes=36
Let E = product of the numbers appearing on the top of the dice is less than 9
Favourable outcomes are(E) : (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(3,1),(3,2),(4,1) ,(4,2),(5,1),(6,1)
Number of outcomes favourable to(E)=16
P(E)= number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes
P(E)= 16/36
P(E)= 4/9
Hence, P(E)= 4/9

P(E)= 16/36
P(E)= 4/9
Hence, P(E)= 4/9
